Perlis state assembly speaker Hamdan Bahari has confirmed that Tambun Tulang state assemblyperson Ismail Kassim will not be attending the assembly sittings this time.
He said Ismail (above) returned from Indonesia recently after he was stranded there and has since been quarantined in Kuala Lumpur.
“I have received his letter informing me that he cannot attend the assembly sittings because he has to undergo compulsory quarantine,” Hamdan told Bernama after the opening of the third session and second meeting of the 14th Perlis state assembly at Kompleks Dewan Undangan Negeri Perlis today.
The launch was officiated by the Raja of Perlis Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Putra Jamalullail.
The Raja Perempuan of Perlis Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Tengku Abdul Rashid, Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail, and Raja Puan Muda of Perlis Tuanku Hajah Lailatul Shahreen Akashah Khalil were also in attendance.
Hamdan also said three state assemblypersons, Mohd Shukri Ramli (Sanglang), Mohd Ridzuan Hashim (Guar Sanji), and Nurulhisham Yaakob (Simpang Empat) who were found negative for Covid-19 after taking the swab test yesterday have been allowed to attend the sittings today.
Yesterday, Bernama reported that the three state assemblypersons were ordered to go for tests as their constituencies were near areas under targeted enhanced movement control order.
As of yesterday, Perlis recorded a cumulative total of 30 positive Covid-19 cases, with 11 being infections from the Sivagangga Person Under Surveillance (PUI) Cluster which began in Napoh, Kubang Pasu, Kedah.
